Data analytics firm Axtria to increase its Bengaluru office headcount to 1,500 by year end

Cloud software and data analytics company Axtria Inc has plans to increase the headcount to 1,500 at its new Bengaluru office. In a recent interview, CEO Jaswinder Chadha spoke about expanding Axtria’s footprint in India, its approach to hiring top talent, and the importance of India from a product development and analytics market perspective.

Axtria Inc is a global provider of cloud software and data analytics to the Life Sciences industry. Since our founding in 2010, technology innovation has been our winning differentiation. The company’s cloud-based platforms - Axtria DataMAx™, Axtria SalesIQ™, Axtria InsightsMAx™, and Axtria CustomerIQ™ - enable customers to efficiently manage data, leverage data science to deliver insights for sales and marketing planning, and manage end-to-end commercial operations. The company has customers in over 75+ countries. India is one of the top 10 markets for most of these biopharmaceutical companies.
Jaswinder said 75% of Axtria employees are based in India. He said, since May 2021, the skewed demand and supply and market dislocation have led to an exponential rise in salaries for lateral talent. In the wake of this major disruption, the company has adjusted the compensation and has started offering perks and benefits to retain talent, he said.
